{Foodie Book} Front Door Cafe, the hidden gem in KL

Thanks to the rising of 'Cafe Hype', now it is damn hard to find a good and quiet cafe to chill. Seriously, a great cafe to me must have these components: Relaxing environment, Good Food, Good coffee.

So dearie discovered Front Door Cafe online, and we decided to give it a try.

Front Door Cafe is located right outside Petaling Street, that major tourist spot in KL where we locals don't usually visit lol. Quite an interesting location I would say, as the rental there is should be quite $$$$$$$.

Find this building and you are at the right place.

The TINY sign

Interior of the cafe

The lighting is dim but comfortable, and the atmosphere is quiet, relaxing and comfortable, like how a proper cafe should be :3 I really really don't like the feeling of having to rush finish my food to give seat for the crowd, so this really set me in the right mood for a zen Sunday morning/noon.

Got a pretty corridor too <3

They serve Tapping Tapir here too at RM9 per bottle!

(I once saw its sold at RM13 at another cafe)

Their menu basically consists of the basic pastas and breakfasts, and also toast with wide array of toppings. Per slice of toast is RM6, and 5 slices of toasts is RM25. Slightly on the pricey side, but still normal for the rising prices of cafes. =.=

Order Of the Day:

Big Breakfast (RM22)

The sausage is awesome, and I am very very happy with the generous amount of cream cheese served with the toast. Cherry tomatoes are fine, and the beef bacon is good since its bacon lol. However, the scrambled egg is WAY too salty, and I can literally feel the salt when I bite in. I am offered for a new scrambled egg after I reflected the problem to the waiter, but when the new egg came, its still slightly on the salty side but still edible la. And I also found that there's too much pepper in the stir fried mushroom. I think you can just tell them LESS salt and pepper next time la haha.

Toast (RM25 for 5)

From Left:

Beef Bacon,Lettuce, Cheddar, Cherry Tomato

Fried Egg, Cream Cheese, Avocado

Smoked Salmon, Cream Cheese, Cucumber Ribbon, Capers

Beef Pepperoni, Pizza Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese, Fresh Basil

All tastes good, right balance of the ingredients, the flavors are awesome. But I would be happier if that salmon tastes less fishy, perhaps its not fresh enough? I don't know since I am not an expert on it.

Tapping Tapir (RM9)

Ordered soda instead of coffee cause just don't feel like a coffee day heh. I like the Hibiscus and Lime more, tastes like the ribena soda but less sweet version. The flower smell is not strong at all thank god cause I don't drink floral-ish taste beverage as it feels like drinking perfume for me.

Overall: 6.5/10

Its still a pleasant experience there with the silent atmosphere, and I am still amazed by the fact that such a zen place is located just right outside the noisiest district of KL, Petaling Street. Probably will go back again to check out more food and their salty-ness, also to enjoy that quiet environment.
